I mentioned a while back that for the first time ever, I bought a tea because of the a book – Henrietta’s book, to be exact. Her memoir of her life in tea was so fascinating and her tea descriptions so enticing that I bought the Rare Tea Discovery Box even before I finished reading.… Read More Tea Reviews: Rare Tea Discovery Box by Rare Tea Company
Merry Christmas everyone! If I’ve done this right, this post will be going out on Christmas Even and I hope that you’re all enjoying the festive spirit. I’ll be having a sort-of break from tomorrow to the 29th – I’ll be off for Christmas, in camp for the 26th to 27th, and will then be… Read More ADVENTure Week 3 + Overall Thoughts on the Yawn Brew Advent Calendars
This was a tea that I didn’t intend to buy. I pretty much exhausted my budget for tea at Twinings and buying Kinettles Gold (mostly because I bought Kinettles Gold). But as we were wandering around the Shambles, our eyes were caught by the free tea samples and one sip of this left us hooked.… Read More Tea Review: Lullaby by Hebden Tea
This is another one of the teas I got at Twining’s shop at the Strand. Unlike the Golden Rose Hearts, this was something that my sister and I planned to get – we’ve tried this before and we liked it. Strictly speaking, this isn’t tea but these tisanes are pretty fun and easy to reach… Read More Tea Review: 2 Twinings’ Cold Infuse Flavours

There were a lot of tea shops that I wanted to visit in London (like Postcard Teas!) but I know better than to make a trip mainly about tea – my family likes tea but not that much. But since Twining’s flagship store at 216 Strand is the oldest tea shop in London, it was… Read More Visiting the Oldest Tea Shop in London + Tea Review: Twinings Golden Rose Hearts
Ever since one of my friends in Britain sent me a picture of Yorkshire Tea’s Biscuit Brew, a tea that’s supposed to taste like tea and biscuits, I’ve been wanting to try it. Since I had relatives visiting England, I asked them to help me bring back: FIVE BOXES. This was definitely not intentional. I… Read More Yorkshire Tea’s Biscuit Brew
Christmas is coming, and my family is already in the Christmas mood. We haven’t put up a tree or anything, but we’ve already bought (and eaten) panettone and Christmas pudding. That’s enough to put us in the holiday mood. Since I was in the holiday mood, I wanted to get an advent calendar. I saw… Read More Advent Tea Calendar by English Tea Shop
I mentioned that my friend got me the Twinning’s Cold Infusion to try when she went to the UK. What I didn’t mention was that she also got me another tea: Whittard’s Chelsea Garden This is actually my second encounter with this tea. I first had it at the very first Dayre Tea Party and… Read More Chelsea Garden by Whittard
Since I work at a tea-related company, we hear a lot about tea. And one of the teas we heard about was the new Twinning’s Cold Infuse. It intrigued me so much that when one of my friends headed to the UK, I asked her to buy me a box back to try. By the… Read More Twinning’s Cold Infuse – Watermelon, Strawberry, and Mint
